In Weekly Address Obama Urges Americans to Turn 9-11 Into Community Service Day

This is what you get when you elect a radical socialist as president.
Forget about the terrorists – go serve soup.
From the President’s Weekly Address:

This September 11th, Michelle and I will join the commemorations at Ground Zero, in Shanksville, and at the Pentagon. But even if you can’t be in New York, Pennsylvania or Virginia, every American can be part of this anniversary. Once again, 9/11 will be a National Day of Service and Remembrance. And in the days and weeks ahead, folks across the country—in all 50 states—will come together, in their communities and neighborhoods, to honor the victims of 9/11 and to reaffirm the strength of our nation with acts of service and charity.

In Minneapolis, volunteers will help restore a community center. In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, they’ll hammer shingles and lay floors to give families a new home. In Tallahassee, Florida, they’ll assemble care packages for our troops overseas and their families here at home. In Orange County, California, they’ll renovate homes for our veterans. And once again, Michelle and I look forward to joining a local service project as well.

There are so many ways to get involved, and every American can do something. To learn more about the opportunities where you live, just go online and visit Serve.gov. Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost; a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.

On this 10th anniversary, we still face great challenges as a nation. We’re emerging from the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes. We’re taking the fight to al Qaeda, ending the war in Iraq and starting to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. And we’re working to rebuild the foundation of our national strength here at home.

None of this will be easy. And it can’t be the work of government alone. As we saw after 9/11, the strength of America has always been the character and compassion of our people. So as we mark this solemn anniversary, let’s summon that spirit once more. And let’s show that the sense of common purpose that we need in America doesn’t have to be a fleeting moment; it can be a lasting virtue—not just on one day, but every day.

This plan to desecrate the memory of 9-11 and turn it into a socialist day of community service is nothing new.Matthew Vadum at The Spectator reported on this back in 2009:

The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.

This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year’s election campaign. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it’s not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.

The administration’s plans were outlined in an Aug. 11 White House-sponsored teleconference call run by Obama ally Lennox Yearwood, president of the Hip Hop Caucus, and Liv Havstad, the group’s senior vice president of strategic partnerships and programs.

Yearwood, who uses the honorific “Reverend” before his name, has been in the news in recent years, usually for getting arrested. After Democrats took back Congress, the rowdy activist was handcuffed outside a congressional hearing in September 2007 when Gen. David Petraeus was to testify. Yearwood told the “Democracy Now” radio program that he wanted to attend the hearing to hear Petraeus give his report. “I knew that when officers lie, soldiers die,” he said.

On the Aug. 11 call, Yearwood and other leaders kept saying repeatedly that they wanted 9/11 to be used for something “positive,” “forward-leaning,” and “productive,” said a source with knowledge of the teleconference.

The plan is to turn a “day of fear” that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. In other words, nihilistic liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning.

For the record… Commie-Truther Van Jones was the man behind the “turn 9-11 into community service day” movement.

Obama should “lean forward” over the Grand Canyon. I think this day of service idea is good though. Americans should gather in their millions with lighted torches and clean out DC and exterminate the vermin that infest it.

Patty

He did this last year if I recall.

First, this is a day of prayer! This is a day for every American to keep faith, family and friends close.

We don’t need to be told what we should or shouldn’t do by a person who sat in Rev. Wright’s Church for 20, TWENTY YEARS, and listen to hate of a racist.

btw, With his two little girls, need not mention, Michelle.

We don’t need to be told by a person who was friends with a known terrorist, Bill Ayers.

We don’t need to be told by a person who did nothing more than community organize. If you are to live by his example then God help you.

We don’t need to be told by a person who calls his predecessor un- patriotic.

We don’t need to be told by a person who criticizes, ridicules Republican party and those who disagree.

This president actually has a Media Squasher, after all the hateful comments and remarks towards president Bush by Obama himself, he doesn’t want anyone to say a word about him that isn’t good.

I will pray for all America and be the person I have been. The victims of 911 need all our prayers. But for Obama, remember to wear a flag, remember to place your hand over you heart when America’s National Anthem is played, remember there are 50 states not 57.

Remember that you and all of us have been kept safe for 13 years. Remember we are America and we don’t bow down to anyone.

Patty

It only stands to reason that a once Czar community Organizer of hate would be behind this.

Patty

Look how regal he thinks he is. Come on 2012!!

Bunni

I remember when this scum lst pulled his community service day crap back in 2009! And, surprise, surprise, that commie Van jones was behind it, WTF!

He can go pound sand. There will be lots more good American’s going to soup kitchens, TO GET FED, because of this bum’s policies. 9/11 should be a solemn holy day, not a commie fest.

this is in reference to the bizarre shut-down of Gibson guitars, by the feds.

rbosque

How about a little introspection. War was declared on us when this happened. What have we accomplished so far and what still needs to be done. How about honoring those who gave their lives fighting the enemy?

And you do know who the enemy is huh Obama? You know…..Muslims?
Not old white nuns, kids, or loyal Americans….

Muslims! The same people WHO STILL want to harm us! Not the Tea Party or Christians….

Muslims. Got it?

Multitude

President Obama,

I struggle with your request. On 9/11, I am reminded of fallen fellow citizens, slaughtered due to a reactionary, fundamentalist faith that led a few dozen deranged individuals to perpetrate mass crimes, expressing the hatred of the Other inherent in their perverse ideology. I recall a useless nation-state, inept, limp, impotent, and utterly incapable of addressing the eruption of hatred. Warnings occurred for over a decade and even a failed attempt some years prior at the same site wasn’t sufficient to awaken the sloth we know as a Federal Government. Our government slept, failing those who were destined to become victims. Indeed, the only proud moment of the day was when a handful of patriots, rhizomes autonomous in action, declared that their flight would not be subject to this profane declaration.

Government failed the people. Hierarchy was proven a fraud. Yet you, an unaccomplished minor individual who has been given the stage, intend to co-opt this day of realization and remembrance into a tribute to the very hierarchies that failed the people, leading them to their slaughter? Are you also deranged? Or just completely insensitive, having sold your soul out for four years of sweet vacations, unlimited golf and some awesome memorabilia?

Patty

Those of us will remember 911 forever. Other generations will just look at it as a day in History. The youth who will be adults may never realize the truth impact on this nation. If the history books tell the truth of that day, it will be remember for generations to come as one of the worse acts of Terrorism our nation faced.

Hopefully, we will never be attacked like this again. People, People so many who want to change that day into something less than. Or they want to change into some silly idea that just doesn’t fit.

The true stories and the true meanings comes for those families that were victims. They need to tell their stories and some will at the ceremony and many more ceremonies to come.

With the beautiful way in which ground zero is coming along, there will always be a place for the parents, grandparents and the children of generations to come to talk, smile, cry and remember.

I hope it will never be anymore than what is was. And we will remember it exactly for what is was. Nothing different but learn from it and share your memories of it.

The most disturbing aspect of this is that on the surface it’s not something people will immediately dismiss; community service itself is not inherently a bad thing. In any other context, encouraging Americans to help one another, to engage in charitable service activities, could be a very good thing indeed.

But this is 9/11 we’re talking about. Imagine turning December 7–Pearl Harbor Day–into a “day of service.”

I don’t know whether I’m more angry or more sickened by this perversion of political correctness.

KOW

Well, Senator from Washington said the bin Laden did Community Service, so it is only fitting we do Community Service on bin Ladens biggest outreach program day.

America’s economy will not heal until the parasite Obama is removed. There is no time like the present. America can stand no more of Obama’s ineptitude.

Gail

Emmmmm…… Would that be “Go serve Pea Soup?”

The Socialists, who embrace Islamic Fascism, want us to forget. They think they can erase the date from our collective memory. They do not love this country or its people, and so it is not surprising that they do not recognize the date as a sacred memory.

In fact, it is our duty to keep the memory alive. We must never forget the sacrifice of the innocents that were slaughtered that day or the hateful ideology embraced by the terrorists, who thought they could bring us to our knees.

Forgetfulness will enable similar carnage to happen again by enemies of the same mindset, who have sworn to destroy us. Have no doubts; on September 11, every true American will remember.

Will we EVER be rid of this nightmare? Can anything be done to turn this debacle around after he is hopefully defeated in 2012?

Patty

Community organizing is most identified with the left-wing Chicago activist Saul Alinsky (1909-72), who pretty much defined the profession. In his classic book, Rules for Radicals, Alinsky wrote that a successful organizer should be “an abrasive agent to rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; to fan latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expressions.” Once such hostilities were “whipped up to a fighting pitch,” Alinsky continued, the organizer steered his group toward confrontation, in the form of picketing, demonstrating, and general hell-raising. At first, the organizer tackled small stuff, like demanding the repair of streetlights in a city park; later, when the group gained confidence, the organizer could take on bigger targets. But at all times, the organizer’s goal was not to lead his people anywhere, but to encourage them to take action on their own behalf.

Alinsky started in the 1930s with workers in the Chicago stockyards. Many years later, when Obama arrived here, he came from a different perspective.

Now, after reading this article you can see that some like Wright, Wilson, Waters, Sharpton make the comments that they do and get away with them. We have some community organizer in our midst but not the good kind.

This from the man whose family takes two planes on vacation, whose wife wears 130. dollar shirts and 500. dollar sneakers to serve soup to the “needy” with one hand on their ‘free’ tax-funded cell-phones (all the better to form flash mobs, my dear).
Everyone perform community service next Fall and vote against Obama, Please!!

New age religious (Peace and Justice democrats and liberal jews) are all for this forward looking, let’s not remember the victims but remember to not hate the muslims, way of thinking. The sooner they can bury 9/11, the better.

FOLKS. PEOPLE!! HEAR HEAR!!! Barack Hussein Obama… IS and ALWAYS HAS BEEN… A RED DIAPER BABY. Socialism, Communism, Marx/Engels-ism/Che Guevara-ism/Hugo Chavez-ism,,,,,and STALINISM……….Simply do not work. They are the HENRY FORD PRODUCTION LINE of COLLECTIVIST MISERY. They are GODLESS………DEATH and MISERY MACHINES.

9/11 wasn’t a horrific WAR ATTACK on THE UNITED STATES, The 9/11 ISLAMO-FASCIST attacks were a CALL TO COLLECTIVISM. It was a CLARION CALL for ALL OF US, to get in LINE, behind COMMIE BASTARDS like Obama.

But here is the part MOST OF YOU, do not understand. Obama KNOWS NOTHING, EXCEPT this MARXIST ideology. All crisis, disasters, days of mourning, terrible catastrophies, are OPPURTUNITIES for the STATE…..(HIM and his chosen CZARS), to garner and or gather MORE control over the PEOPLE.

When Obama PISSES on the HORRID VILE, EVIL attack on The United States, he isn’t THINKING like YOU and I. Obama sees oppurtunity. The PEOPLE that OBAMA has hung around with and ASSOCIATED with, his ENTIRE LIFE. Do not SHARE, YOURS, nor my ABIDING LOVE of THE UNITED STATES. His pal BILL AYERS………..AND Ayers wife Bernadine Dorhn, BOMBED our nations government insitutions. They are and were RADICALS.

Obama doesn’t THINK, like you and I. Obama wasn’t RAISED to love America. QUITE THE CONTRARY. Think about that.

As soon as this idiot is voted out of office, the next President had better put an end to this co-opting of 9/11 and stick to honoring victims.

#14. Standing ovation.
Leftist/Libtard/Commie/Progressives..want us to consider the FILTHY ATTACKS on the United States, as a day to go to STALINGRAD and bring in the crops.

Imagine I suggested we substitute MLK day for such a purpose.

Stan

Who urges Americans to turn 9-11 into a community service day? Obama who? Who is this person and why is he saying these things?

No, “Community Service Day” comes the Second Tuesday of November 2012, when we “clean out” all of the trash in Washington, D.C……..for Libs, it’s the THIRD Tuesday.

gus

He CANNOT ask for AMERICA to PRAY for the 9/11 victims.
He doesn’t ask AMERICA to remember WHO ATTACKED us.
He (the MOTHERFVCKING PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES) doesn’t ask AMERICA to be strong and RESOLVED so as to defeat the enemy.
He does the SIMPLE MARXIST SH!T, that the ALYNSKI playbook calls for.
And the lower level functionairies that WRITE his PATHETIC DRIVELING…say nothing speeches, are not OLD ENOUGH, nor BRIGHT ENOUGH, NOR EXPERIENCED ENOUGH, NOR PATRIOTIC ENOUGH, to REALIZE…..HOW FVCKED UP, Obama’s speeches will COME ACROSS to normal Americans.

The day my Father was murdered by ISLAMOFASCISTS, and 3000 other peoples LOVED ONES were slaughtered by ISLAMOFASCISTS, and the day that ALL OF US….WERE INTENDED VICTIMS of ISLAMOFASCISM…….should not be MEMORIALIZED, by helping a neighbor.

This is a very perverse thing to do. Totally consistent with the left’s attempt to distort the truth through revisionism of history. It can be seen everywhere they leave their fingerprints.
The reason is clear: they cannot allow actual history to be remembered lest they be despised for the fruit of their labor. And despised is truly what their deeds deserve.
Never forget that they and their willing accompices removed from the media streams the images of the towers before the dust had even settled.
Just like an obamination to change sadness for the loss and anger at the perpetrators into helping someone drive some nails and shingle a roof; or work at a community center, etc.
While the act of helping your neighbor may be fine in and of themselves, to transform 9-11 into a “day of service” is so perverse it alone would justify voting this despicable fellow out of office.
Just what exactly is the golfer-in-chief’s service anyway?

gus

Ausonius. Very good. These COMMUNIST FREAKS. Cannot win, when truth exists.
It’s related, part and parcel with the Stalinist practice of UN-PERSONING…official photos.
LIBTARDS need to STOP the Patriotic, individual memories of a HORRIBLE act, against OUR NATION.

The LEFTIST version of “Confession pennance”. Is some COLLECTIVIST ACT. And that COLLECTIVIST PENNANCE, is just more MARXIST training camp.

The same CONCEPT exists in schools. AND IT IS NOT BY ACCIDENT. STUDENTS are THEIR WARDS. They WILL EDUCATE CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEIR WAY….IS THE CORRECT WAY.

Crackermike

Work at a soup kitchen? The man TRULY understands the Economy he has brought to us. We’re ALL gonna need a damn soup kitchen.

Service to our Community and our fellow citizens comes from the heart – not from the dictates of a socialist would-be dictator! Are we to commemorate Pearl Harbor and the end of the Civil War similarly? How about VJ Day? The invasion of Normandy? Dropping the atomic bomb?

What a flaming idiot!

NAtional day of service? Yeah, tell that to the firemen who had a “national day of service”…. rescuing people from the rubbles.

DittoGirl

I am truly sickened by this sick freak. I remember every detail of that day, clearly, as if it just happened yesterday. It is my birthday, my husband called and woke me up to watch it when I had every intention of sleeping in. The tears, the sadness, the heartbreak of that day will never go away. Every year that it passes it does not go away.

I get up every Sept 11, not to celebrate a birthday anymore, but to cry. I do not celebrate on that day, it is clouded with sadness, we do something on another day to sing Happy Birthday.

I resent the idea of National Service Day, on this sacred and solomn day, and I resent this shell of a man for even suggesting it. Next thing he will suggest is that it is mandatory. Now we have two vile men trying to make the day into a nightmare once again. Mayor Blowhard, not allowing any religious members to come, also banning the first responders, that ran to try and save anyone that they could, and then the pResident of the WH trying to make it into a day of service. Why are we allowing this? 2 men of ill intentions are running the ceremony, and this nation does nothing? Our Governors, Senators, and Congressmen do nothing.

Our govt is going to pay dearly for this. I for one will do no community service for this pResident, ever. He can go straight to you know where.

mamagriz68

He doesn’t understand that the rest of us have it seared in our memories and will never forget. In fact, I just saw a sign for a memorial service to be held on 9-11 at a restaurant here in NW IN. I’ve seen churches and fire and police departments and communities do it, but this is a first for me. People remember the horror of that day even though the media won’t show the planes flying into the buildings, or the people who chose to jump rather than be burned alive. People remember that the people behind it were Islamic terrorists, no matter what Homeland Security and TSA try to tell us. I can vividly remember the details of that morning, as can most Americans. The president can go jump in the lake.

Comrades! Awake! The idea od “a day of service” goes back to the mother land, mother Russia. On the Saturday before V Lenins birthday April 21 (now earth day) ALL soviet citizens donated a day of labor to the state. This was called “Subotnik” Saturday.

36/37 – The chutzpah of Obamao and Van Jones is breathtaking. I am so saddened, and at the same time angry at what has happened to America. It’s obvious simply pounding the libs/marxists/communists in the next election won’t be nearly enough. Educating the public about this menace has to take on a massive importance…college campuses, media, and unions, public schools and government at all levels is simply infested with these leninist ideologues. They have got to go.

DittoGirl

I like Major Mike’s idea alot! Maybe we should all pack up the pistol, and go to the range. Get some frustration out of ourselves, (nothing better than the smell of spent ammo and the power of its vessel) and make the target our imagination! It could be anything!

In fact, I may take the sweet 9 and go upnorth where I can put anything on the target. Lovely idea, Mike! Bravo!

I have a better idea to mark the anniversary date of 9/11. Instead of this socialist crap, how about a more typical American response.

Every anniversary of 9/11 we send 10 B-2 bombers over a terrorist state like Iran or N. Korea or Indonesia, etc. And we drop 500lb bombs. No super accurate expensive stuff, just some old surplus iron bombs. Pick a city and saturate bomb a nice big section of it. Plenty of innocents will be killed, but all of those killed in NYC were innocent, so it works out even. Let them know we are going to do it until WE decide not to.

This will indoctrinate the muslim scum as to the true character of the American people, not what they think it is. When the UN, etc. cry out that it is “enough”, we can look them in the eye and remind them that WE decide that, not them. When they scream that the bombing was indiscriminate, we can say, yes it is and will remain so, just like the muslim terrorists that struck on 9/11. I think that about 10 years or maybe more if WE decide should send a lovely message about Americans to the muslim world.

Perhaps this would deter further attacks upon our country. If there is another attack, we simply add that date of the new attack to our calendar for an additional “Anniversary Bombing” of the crap hole they live in.

The flight crews could be back on the ground mid day and in the club lifting a few brews to relax. Since we were using cheap bombs, the only added cost would be fuel for the aircraft.

To me, this is an American response. Would the world hate us? They already do, so no loss there. Would our allies hate us? Probably, but it might give them some backbone too. I see this as a win-win situation. The only drawback is that my God would not like it, and that would keep me from doing it. You see, my God IS God, not the demonic moon god of the muslims. He died for mankind, and never asked mankind to die for him.

What he meant to say was to be a good little red coat and obey your corporate facist lords over at Americorps.

Didn’t this despot Obama say that he wanted a civilian security force that was under his direct command to be stronger than our military? Wow!! What a sneaky way to destroy the Constitution!! He signed an executive order in Jan. of 2010 which gives him control of the National Guard by removing the command authority out of the hands of the state’s elected governor. Read the Council of 10 Governors, where he divides the nation into 10 regions under the command of FEMA, but each region is under the command of a governor which he himself assigns to each region.

If this man gets a crisis, the executive order is in place for him to completely obliterate and side step the United States Constitution. Our national guard and the current members of the military are sworn to defend it, but with this executive order in place, they will not be able to defend it. The snakes in positions of power want a New International Order which will trample our Bill of Rights as well as men’s rights to their personal property and the pursuit of happiness.

All this man needs is just one major crisis… one that he would not allow to go to waste. God have mercy on us.

Remember watching it as it all unfolded and at the same time feeling that this must of have been like what Americans experienced during Pearl Harbor. This is a war memorial and should be remembered as such. I lost a cousin on that day.

I am so sick of him and his “community service” crap. dear leader most americans will PRAY for the thousands of souls lost that day, and their families. we will never forget.

For all normal Americans, 9/11 will always be a day of prayer. Do service, too, that’s always a good thing. But as for purpose … prayer. Period. This is America, still.

Freddy

In one corner, we have Bloomberg saying NO to religous people. In the other corner we have Obama demanding a day of ‘community service’.

Does this mean that all Religous people are to be excluded nationwide from community service?

And why are we now ‘hating’ on religous people?

BOTH of these clowns need to go away.

If you lead from behind and make one left turn after another , you just spin and go nowhere. The economy is but one example. Dithering does not change the the amount of progress it just affects the rate of spin.

Hey WTF put your day of community service where the sun doesn’t shine. I will remember 911 as a day of tragic loss for Americans, and as the act of primitive heathens as they practiced their perverted religious love. I will donate to causes that support out our armed forces, fly my flag at half mast, and provide a single digit salute to you and your commie friends.

Now that we know Obama and Michelle will be there, we can understand why the mayor said that clergy is not allowed. Wonder if they will have an imam there to do a prayer to allah?

Michael

So, voluntary community service = socialism? And here I’d heard you were a dumb blogger, Hoft.

That’s clearly a slander, as you’d have to go quite a way just to make it to “dumb.”

“Obama Urges Americans to Turn 9-11 Into Community Service Day”

I’ll think about that sometime after school children are allowed to pray in school.

I would lover to see some islamic terrorist wipe that smug look of this infidels face. What an egotistic yet clueless excuse for a human being. “The President of Color”, I feel embarrassed for those that blindly walked into voting booths and chose this useless person. I can’t wait for 2012. Do I sound hateful? Not anymore that Jeremiah Wright, the person this egotist got his education from.

CaliforniaBoy

So, let me get this straight. Obama calls us to honor the dead, especially those firemen and policemen who disregarded personal danger to help others, by helping others? OMG, how horrible. What would Jesus do? (Serve the poor and turn the other cheek, or launch a war on Iraq, a country NONE of the terrorists came from, hmm). Must check the Bible, must be something about beating plowshares into missiles or tax breaks for the rich and powerful, right? Nothing about helping your fellow man, especially the poor, that would be Socialist. But let’s have prayer in government, that wouldn’t be self serving or mock Matthew 6:5, so long as we blow up Muslims. You guys are a riot.

Ausonius

earth to Californiaboy: Reallity check time. I think the scripture has God or His Son, not the self-agrandizing socialist, utopian-delusion sorts naming the time of the beating of swords into plowshares, namely because it occurs after the second coming and they will no longer be needed. Sorry, we are not there yet.
By the way, you seem to miss the fundamental point and that is taking the attention away from the evil that caused the @3000 US citizens to die that day. This is a re-occurring theme of the left to blame the victims, which this is a species of as it distracts from the all-important “how did these people we are remembering die”.
Do you think the “why did they die” question is of fundamental importance. Perhaps we should teach the young that we are simply remembering the 3000 that died on 9-11; when they ask how or why, perhaps we might respond that it just doesn’t matter.
Tell me, when you use (or perhaps misuse) scripture to try and defend the potus, do you likewise use the scripture to reproof clear violations, or are you the sort that sees God as a big santa figure that does not judge sin?
As for WWJD, perhaps he would be overturning the money changer’s tables in the temple right about now, or do you think He would approve of generational theft?
Get a job in order that you can give your money, and not empower politicians to steal mine, then perhaps you’ll have a greater understanding of the tea partiers.
The perverse use of scripture by those seeking to disarm a nation, when Christ’s address on the sermon on the mount, as well as most of His other teachings, are aimed at the individual and not the state, is a dangerous notion indeed. The state has since Genesis 9:6, reaffirmed in Romans 13:1-4, the Scriptural sanctioning of the use of force to punish the evil doers. Tell me, since James instructs that to not do what is right is a sin also (of ommission), doesn’t that leave a moral dillema to the proclaimers of a “no just war theory?”

Damn right! Forget this commie public service crap. Let’s all grab our M16s and go kill and Al Qaeda! Who’s with me?

So some of you would like to make it a religious holiday and some of you would like to make into another Memorial Day. Knock yourselves out, it’s a free country, you don;t have to volunteer to do squat. BTW last week Obama killed the new Al Qaeda CEO Atiyah Abdul Rahman in N. Wazaristan. It’s a shame Bush couldn’t focus on knocking off their leadership like this.

It’s a shame WTF couldn’t be laser focused on jobs. Oh I forgot he is, now I’m really depressed. Another wannabe tyrant spouting his Socialist lies to the entitlement junkies, and another tool or fool falls for it.

Gee I guess I missed the part where Obama’s socialist storm troopers came to my house and forced me at gunpoint to ‘volunteer’ in a soup kitchen.

Because of course, politely requesting that Americans do something for the good of their community and society (which sound suspiciously like “communism” and “socialism”) is EXACTLY like living in an oppressive dictatorship.

ROTFLMAO you don’t read right-wing blog comments much, do you? No need for lefties to spoof righties, you people do a masterful job of making yourselves sound like deranged lunatics. In fact it is impossible to spoof you people.

Is Obama retarded….Does he not know that Americians have always served those less fortunate whether they be fellow Americans or Obama’s muslim brothers…We have helped and served and even died for others in the world…The Obama dictator wants it all organized under the federal government…COMPLETE CONTROL is the motive here…

ruth

WHICH DEAD IS OBAMA HONORING??? Is it the dead Americans or the dead muslims who killed them???I sure they will appreciate not having a Christian or Jewish minister there..as the MUSLIM KILLERS watch from their new home HELL…

I love reading these comments! You people wear your hatred on your sleeves! I’m no fan of ‘Oba-mao’ (hehe), but when the idea of doing something to help your fellow citizens produces this kind of a reaction it’s easy to understand why America is in so much trouble… ‘deranged lunatics’ is a great way to put it. It would be hilarious if I wasn’t so sad for the country I love.

The funny thing is, on this blog nearly every post written nearly every day is swamped with a bunch of idiot liberals writing caustically insipid comments in order to give decent, hard-working Republicans a bad name.

I don’t know how those damn liberals do this.

“Community Service Day” as in “we could use a few more ball polishers over at Andrews.”

While I agree that being of service to one’s fellow man is good, I do not think that stating the bilge water of service and remembrance day is beyond the pale. I think that Mayor Bloomberg has slipped out with out his meds,to not invite either First Responders or
Clergy at Ground Zero is while not criminal should be. And POTUS and Wife and First Kiddies should stay in D.C . and wear their over priced clothing and have their picture taken while handing out coffee and doughnuts. (translated as actually not doing any work just being there.)

[Thanks, Gateway. Good stuff. Found the following on the never-boring web!]

OBAMA FULFILLING THE BIBLE

America’s founders spoke highly of the Bible, even without teleprompters. But Barack Hussein Obama, even with teleprompters, studiously avoids the following Bible verses and the other related information:

Proverbs 19:10 (NIV): “It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury – how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!”
Also Proverbs 30:22 (NIV) which says that the earth cannot bear up under “a servant who becomes king.”
And Ecclesiastes 5:2-3 (KJV) advises: “let thy words be few…a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.”
Although Obama is not descended from slaves, he may feel that he’s destined to become a black-slavery avenger.
Or maybe an enslaver of all free citizens!
For some stunning info on Pres. Obama and his fellow subversives, Google “Imam Bloomberg’s Sharia Mosque,” “Michelle Obama’s Allah-day,” “Obama Supports Public Depravity,” “David Letterman’s Hate Etc.,” “Un-Americans Fight Franklin Graham” and also “Sandra Bernhard, Larry David, Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher, Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman.” Also Google “Prof. F. N. Lee’s ISLAM IN THE BIBLE [PDF].”
PS – Since Christians are commanded to ask God to send severe judgment on persons who commit and support the worst forms of evil (see I Cor. 5 and note “taken away”), Christians everywhere should constantly pray that the Lord will soon “take away” or at least overthrow all US leaders who continue to sear their conscience and arrogantly trample the God-given rights of the majority including the rights of the unborn. Do we need a second American Revolution?
PPS – For a rare look at the 181-year-old endtime belief which has long neutralized millions of American patriots by promising them an “imminent rapture” off earth – which has diverted them away from being prepared to stand against all enemies, domestic as well as foreign – Google “Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty,” “Pretrib Rapture Diehards,” “Edward Irving is Unnerving,” “Pretrib Rapture Secrecy,” and “Pretrib Rapture – Hidden Facts” – all by the author of the bestselling nonfiction book “The Rapture Plot” (the most accurate and highly endorsed documentation on the pretrib rapture’s long-covered-up-but-now-revealed beginnings in Britain in 1830 – see Armageddon Books). Also Google “Stamping Out Harold Camping.”
